World Hepatitis Day | Be careful with your liver and reduce its burden

July 28 is World Hepatitis Day. Dongdong Miao will show you five pictures to understand hepatitis~

01 Young people are the most vulnerable group

The report shows that there are about 70 million chronic hepatitis B virus carriers in my country, with the highest incidence among those aged 20 to 29.

02 Viral hepatitis is an infectious disease

The patient's saliva contains viruses, so it is necessary to disinfect the tableware and avoid sharing tableware with others.

03 Prone to developing liver cancer

If you find hepatitis, you should pay attention to it to avoid the three steps of "hepatitis-cirrhosis-liver cancer" turning into a malignant tumor.

04 Pay attention to diet and exercise

Try to finish dinner 3 hours before bedtime and do more aerobic exercises such as walking and swimming.

05 Remember to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking medication

Taking medicine can damage the liver. You must follow the doctor's advice and take the medicine according to the prescribed dosage to avoid placing extra burden on the liver.
